I watch F1 for the drama, the story. It is not a fair battle test of drivers. It is an epic struggle between drivers, teams, manufacturers, and even the F1 organization itself. It would be nice if the racing were closer. Because closer racing means more of a struggle. But taking away the difference between teams would take away more of the narrative. Is Verstappen staying with Red-bull now that Honda is gone? Is replacing Perez with Vettel a good idea. Should it maybe have been Stroll that got replaced? Does Sainz regret his move to Ferrari next year? Will Albon get demoted again, will Gasly get promoted again? Will Williams be stripped for parts and sold now that it is taken over by private equity? Who would win between Hamilton and Verstappen in a fair fight? How good is Russel actually? In a 'fairer' system few to none of the above questions would be as compelling. The last two would even get clear answers, which I think takes much of the fun out of it.
